Oh, Sequoia National Park!
We knew that our friends from Wandrly had finally made their way south from wintering in Astoria and we were finally crossing paths again since we met last summer in Banff, Alberta Canada.
They had been settled at a private RV park just outside of Sequoia National Park and we decided to make ourselves at home in the park.
We stayed at the first campground in the park as all of the others are in much higher elevation and have small sites.
For the day, we drove up to see the giant sequoia groves.
Just the night before, the temperature had dropped and the kids got to see some real snow. Our lives sort of revolve around chasing good weather so snow is a rarity for us.
Here is General Sherman in all his glory.
He is not to tallest or the widest tree in the world but he is the largest by volume.
Here are our little ones with a couple of Wandrly’s littles.
It’s ok. The snow is fresh and not a drop of yellow on it.
We spent a lot of time at the campground just hanging out. Our site was huge and we took full advantage of it.
We also are here to meet up with Eric Bricker. He is a documentary filmmaker who is making one on Airstreams.
We are very excited to be part of this project. Let’s hope at least some of it escapes the cutting room floor.
We drove up to the giant sequoia groves again the following day with Eric. Some of the snow stuck around but none of us dared to eat it.
That means we made snowmen galore.
Eric is a super awesome guy to be around. One of those guys that is born to be a documentary filmmaker. He is so easy to hang with and naturally put people at ease.
All I can hope for is that the kids didn’t say anything embarrassing on camera.
Actually, lets hope I didn’t say anything embarrassing on camera.
The film is still under production and expected to be out sometime in 2015.
For now, we have lots of Pixar movies on the computer to keep us entertained.
over and out,
dan
